Favorite foods from our childhood can be a huge draw.  Those foods are ingrained into our souls, and they mean a lot to us.  That is why such foods are often called “comfort foods”.  They make us comfortable.  Many people, if they are experiencing stress in their lives, or some bad event happens, they will turn to comfort food.

Some of these old time favorite foods, though, seem to be the ones that are difficult to find in a foreign country, and the Philippines is no exception.

I recently was contacted by an American expat named Tim.  Tim told me that he really misses having corn bread here in the Philippines.  He sounded a bit desperate for his corn bread fix!  I sympathize with Tim, because I also really enjoy my cornbread, and it is not always easy to find it in the Philippines.

I have seen cornbread here, though, and in fact, I eat cornbread on a pretty regular basis.  As I type this blog post, I am even waiting for my wife to bring me a piece of cornbread for breakfast.  So, it can certainly be found and eaten here in the Philippines!

Listen to today’s Podcast, and I’ll tell you how and where to find cornbread here in the Philippines!  Enjoy a favorite from the past!
